Mother Earth Brew Co. will open its Nampa tasting room to the public at noon on Saturday, Oct. 8.

Vista, Calif.-based Mother Earth constructed this major brewery after first announcing its Idaho expansion in 2015. The four-vessel, 40-barrel operation in Canyon County has the potential to be enlarged to produce 100,000 barrels annually.

Mother Earth’s tasting room will include 10 taps and feature favorites such as Cali Creamin’ vanilla cream ale and Boo Koo IPA. Local wines also will be sold.

Beer prices will be $2 plus tax for a 4-ounce taster ($3 plus tax for specialty beers), $5 plus tax for a pint (below 8 percent ABV) or 10-ounce pour (8 percent and up). Growlers also will be sold and filled.
